The image transports us back to a bustling era when steam engines reigned supreme and played an integral role in shaping the city's growth. Standing tall against the backdrop of towering cranes and bustling dock activity, this magnificent engine shed exudes power and grandeur. In the heart of the scene, we witness a mesmerizing sight as private owner wagons gracefully navigate through the middle.
